Holding On

My heart's been hurt many times, but I don't let that get in the way
For I know I will find true love, I know I will someday

But now something is keeping me from this belief
I've been waiting for a love to come along and not leave

Well, this love has come and, yes sadly, it has gone
But nothing is stopping me, I still keep on holding on

I know it is foolish, I need to let him go
For he has gone away, long, long ago

I know there's no more chance for my chance has come and gone as well
I know I must say goodbye to the love I once knew, so long and farewell

And yet something still stops me from saying goodbye
Something wants me to stay, but why should I try?

He has moved on and I know I should too
But my feelings for him are still growing strong, and he knows that is true

This love has come and, yes, it has gone
But I'm still standing here alone, I'm still holding on...
